As you've noted, "Enthusiasm, in matters of belief, is a dangerous thing".How much more so then, again in matters of belief, is "nihilism"? Really, you do know better than to disseminate and inculcate this kind of thing.(c.f., Robert Burrows, as a follower? Is that big, or clever?)

That, before we even start to discuss rationality, logic, and Darwinian market forces, i.e. research-backed "reality", as distinct from irrational dogma-driven "belief"...
